I have an xml-file that contains data that I want to read. The code works in a desktop environment but I can\'t figure out how to store and read the file from an android dev
For write xml in android refer below link.
Writing XML on Android
For read xml there are mainly 3 ways
1) DOM Parser
2) SAX Parser
3) XML Pull Parser
Put the xml file in the assets folder and fetch it using the AssetManager: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/AssetManager.html
To read the file use the same java code that works for you on J2SE.
